 | | Can the teachings of Nezikin, the relationship between individuals in laws of torts, commercial law, real estate law, sales, wills, contracts, loans, and a myriad other matters in which we deal with our neighbors every day, be as important as the laws of Shabbat or Berachot or Nida? |
 | | Thus one of the six orders of the Mishna and Talmud is devoted to Nezikin; of the 14 books of Maimonides code of Jewish Law (Yad HaChazaka) over 3 are devoted to the laws of nezikin. |
 | | Unlike the Talmud that first goes through three tractates of nezikin with substantive laws of nezikin and only then goes on to the procedural laws of tractate Sanhedrin, which is the order followed by Maimonides, Rabbi Yosef Karo following the sequence of Rabbi Yaakov Tur, commences with the laws of the courts. |
